Ramadan is a month-long observance by Muslims. The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, so it changes in relation to the Gregorian calendar. In 2017, Ramadan begins on May 26th and ends on June 25th.. You can find the dates for future years here.

I thought a “The Best…” list would be useful to share resources on this observance that would be accessible to English Language Learners.

Wow! That’s a huge list, Larry. Here’s one more: ESL-Library has a weekly podcast based on materials from their subscription library. The podcasts are free and are available on the ESL-Library blog and on iTunes. A recent podcast featured the reading from the Ramadan lesson: http://esl-library.com/blog/2011/07/27/podcast-ramadan/ These are useful for English learners who want extra listening practice.
